Equipment Connect any optional equipment such as an amplifier, according to the instructions furnished with the equipment. Leave about 30 cm of distance between the speaker cords/amplifier unit and the antenna/ antenna extension cord.

Follow the diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and the stereo unit. The speaker used must be able to handle more than 41 W of audio power. If using an optional audio power, the speakers should be able to handle the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers with low input ratings can be damaged. Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 Ω, which is typically marked on most speakers. Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect output and can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
